Well, this ep is the one we've always been waiting for (kind of). The first of Spike's progress/development as a dragon. Depending on how you look at it, this may have been the first time we've seen some development for Spike personally as a dragon for a fair while depending on how you regard his episodes with  Ember and certain comc appearances. This episode started a bit sour for me, as the puberty plot early on felt too much like a typical school show, sometimes point for point, though I would've have let that drag down my ratting that much on it's own because that would be more of a pet peev. But once they got out of the school I loved it.Everything from the Rarity to the Roc bird attacking. This episode too gave me a season 2ish vibe with how localized it was despite having some action involved. Spike growing his wings didn't feel that odd/out of left field in a bad way , and the pacing flowed nicely. 8/10 for me.
